Running From the Moon On the Water
Deer just clearing the road as I drove into town
I followed you up and I followed you down
It was raining angels and like most things with wings
They didn't want to get wet
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
Stars veiled by city light rise
Shadowy planets cross cataract skies
I watched the reflected television news in your eyes
And waited for a reply
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
Sunlight turns books back into dust
Ash to ash who knows what for the rest of us
Eyes to the fire as it hisses and spits
Sending sunlight back to the sun
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
I followed you up and I followed you down
It was raining angels and like most things with wings
They didn't want to get wet
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
Stars veiled by city light rise
Shadowy planets cross cataract skies
I watched the reflected television news in your eyes
And waited for a reply
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
Sunlight turns books back into dust
Ash to ash who knows what for the rest of us
Eyes to the fire as it hisses and spits
Sending sunlight back to the sun
Running from the moon on the water
You built the bridge but you never had to walk upon it
You built the fence but you never had to gaze beyond it
You built the roof but you never had to sleep beneath it
And a leaky roof will make you hate the rain
